STUDENT FEATURE 2




Featured Student: Thor Eu Ric
Course: Architectural Technology

Semester: 5
Featured Project: Studio 2- Bicycle Shed




RED


The RED bicycle shed is set in the urban housing area of Bandar Utama. The shed fulfils the need of sculptural impression, expression and inspiration to the site while providing a methodical system for clever bicycle storage.


Driven fervently by the idea of passion, the shed exudes a sense of dynamism and strength, in hope of injecting a sense of eagerness and passion to the blood-shot eyed working crowd of Bandar Utama, as it promotes a cause for cycling.

The shed balances the design for a programmatic and pragmatic space; space circulation is clean and systematic. Bicycles which are elevated from the ground by a system of tracks, not only provide an open floor space, but also giving almost a feel of an avant-garde and artistic “living” space that is constantly at jolt and movement.


What would you want to see from SABD Student Society this year?

"I'd like to see a family of loving team that is fair, honest and trustworthy to all.
I want to see arguments,
I want to see sweet-talks,
and I want to see communication and a sincere relationship among one another."

-Eu Ric

this comment is probably not supposed to be here, but i posted it here so that it doesn't get clouded by other chats. XP

hmmm.. great design. :) i would very much like to see it in reality. hehe.. your explainations are very interesting, if somewhat compacted..
like for example you said it responds well to the site. T_T we don't have telepathic powers. i'd really like to know.

probably, with detailed explainations, there will be less miscommunications in the form of critique.

probably we could have a more detailed explaination on the limelight posts in the future...

WHY IS THIS ROOF SOOO SIMLIAR TO JUNHAO'S STUDIO 1 WORK?

If you notice, the roof was inspired by the mask he initially designed back in studio 1 (view picture of him). Both eu ric and jun hao have different design language. Somehow this just happens to look similar with one another's design. Things coincidentally happen so leave it and move on. No big deal
